The Tiger in the Sky
.
Tried not to rush white knitted hour
Admire the budding rose
As tensions ran and tempers soured
My eyes upturned the vase
For sunrises are tea leaves
I always make some random picture
The dreaded Tiger Sky encroached
My soul absorbed her torture
She writhes and sponges pudding wounds
With dabs of mauve and grey
Cries and stains old bandages
Bleeds ruby life away
I make a cage for her with fence
As if to pen her sorrow
Shake off my mood with common sense
I will see something else tomorrow
Sky is one of my favourite things to write about in case you hadn’t noticed 😂
